ACCUTRACK
Speedometer II
This
Speedometer to help set up
speed-matching of locos with
SPROG.
Programmable for
N or HO, this unit stands over any track, and displays the speed of a
train as it passes, in either
direction. It is a stand-alone device, and runs off two AAA batteries,
included in the package, so is
ideal for DC or DCC layouts.
The speedometer uses the
precision of a microcontroller to
measure the time between two infrared beams that the train passes
through. Based on this time,
the scale speed can be calculated from a mathematically derived
calibration factor. Built into the
software are the calibration factors for N & HO scales, and these
factors are selectable from
a button accessible from the front panel of the
device.
Speed is displayed for 5
seconds and then unit goes into power saving
mode.
Auto shut off after
5 minutes of no
trains.
